Watkin Jones recognise that it is crucial
to the success of the Group to have an
effective and eff’icient supply chain.
Their vision is for their entire supply chain
to embrace and share their commitment
to sustainable development and ethical
business practices.
It is Watkin Jones objective to create and
develop opportunities to work closely
with their Supply Chain Partners to mutual
advantage so that together they can deliver
the best value solutions for the benef’it of
their clients.
Their suppliers and subcontractors are
involved at a very early stage of design
development in order for them to advise
on how their product and service can
contribute added value to the client and the
end product.
The Watkin Jones Group is guided by a set
of principals which form the basis of their
client focused approach to the development
process. Watkin Jones strive to achieve
maximum value to clients by adopting a
policy of continuous collaboration and
partnership with their Supply Chain Partners.
The well managed supply chain offers
simplif ’ication and risk reduction, value
engineering, cost savings, reduction in
maintenance and ethical and environmental
benef’its for their Supply Chain Partners,
their Clients and Watkin Jones.
By adopting a thorough and intensive preselection
process, Watkin Jones ensure that
each and every supplier or subcontractor
is fully aware of the requirements to
achieve Supply Chain Partner status. A
detailed database of approved suppliers
and subcontractors is maintained and new
f’irms can only be added once quality, safety,
environmental and f’inancial checks have
been carried out.
